6 Teams Josh Childress Should See Before Greece

J-Chill must really want to get out of Atlanta with that 3 year $20 million he's got on the table with Olympiakos in Greece. Right now, it's either a sign-and-trade or Greece for him, but there are other teams that could really use him, especially on the east coast.

Philadelphia 76ers

If Childress wants a sign-and-trade, Philly is a good place for both teams, especially when he visited them already. With him and Louis Williams, an undersized shooting guard, both restricted free agents, both teams trade a solid guard off the bench for another, only the Sixers get size. It also gives the Hawks an opportunity to truly go small when Lou comes off the bench.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Last season, Sasha Pavlovic didn't live up to the hype after going to the Finals in 2007. Five years removed from Serbia and 4 years since joining the Cavs, maybe he needs a fresh start with a new team. Childress would be an upgrade in terms of scoring, relieving part of the load on LeBron James and Pavlovic would add size to the Hawks.

Detroit Pistons

Detroit's looking to shake things up with the roster, and with Rodney Stuckey's play carrying from the playoffs over to the summer league, Chauncey Billups or Richard Hamilton might be on the trading block. Atlanta also needs a good, veteran big man to come off the bench for them. Trade Childress and Mike Bibby for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess and Detroit starts the rebuilding process.

Indiana Pacers

Marquis Daniels might be a good fit for Atlanta. He went undrafted out of college and averaged near 16 PPG in the playoffs his rookie year in Dallas. Daniels' contract, in its last year, is probably around Childress' price range and is near what Olympiakos is offering. It wouldn't be a bad choice for the rebuilding Pacers.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks are reloading after getting a new coach in Scott Skiles, but he's already made Charlie Villanueva unhappy before he even coached. The Hawks landing Villanueva is a long shot and they're probably not even interested, but highflyer Desmond Mason is a good possibility. Mason would add experience to the Hawks, something they lack. Childress can back-up Michael Redd and is a great compliment for a team with young talent in Andrew Bogut and Ramon Sessions and a veteran in his prime in Richard Jefferson.

Charlotte Bobcats

The Bobcats signed Matt Carroll to a 5-year extension last season, but Childress is better. Carroll could add better 3-point shooting for the Hawks with his near 44% from beyond the arc, #9 in the NBA. Adding Childress behind Jason Richardson, Gerald Wallace and Emeka Okafor might be the move they need to get to their first playoff series in franchise history.

The Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, Toronto Raptors, Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards could also use him, but don't have much.f anything, to offer. Otherwise, there's still opportunities for him in the NBA.
